Thankfulness~ Imam Zaid Shakir

"Part of our striving, should be a striving for Shukr, a striving to be Thankful."

"Stop looking to what we lack and look to what we have, so that we can give thanks."

"Some of us have houses with ceilings higher than this Masjid"

"We don't have a spare tire, we have a spare car.

Oh, the Lexus is broke, take the Toyota . . . We need to give Thanks"

Allah says, "If you thank me, I will give you more."
